Lyrics and translation Ramon Ayala - Corrido del Aguacate

Corrido del Aguacate

Cantaremos el corrido
De antonio lópez treviño
Lo mataron sin testigos
Aquellos que con cariño
Creyo sus grandes amigos

En Reynosa Tamaulipas
Una mañanita fria
Se penso era un disparate
Decian que la policia
Muerto encontro al aguacate

Aquellos que lo mataron
Sabian que era todo un hombre
Y en confianza le ocultaron
Que a tracion lo matarian
Porque a antonio le temian

Le gustaba al aguacate
Con la muerte andar del brazo
Porque nunca le importo
Matar a sus enemigos
O ser muerto el a balazos

La noche que lo mataron
Tuvo una cita de novios
Para ponerse de acuerdo
El y su novia querida
La fecha del matrimonio

Mas la muerte lo esperaba
Con un pie ya en el estribo
En su carro nuevecito
Los traidores lo mataron
Y ocultaron su delito

Uno de los criminales
Lloraba desesperado
En su tumba con tristeza
Como queriendo borrar
Con el llanto su vileza

Bueno aqui ya me despido
Pues la tristeza me abate
Aqui termina el corrido de
Antonio lopez treviño
Alias "Toño el Aguacate"

Avocado Corrido

We will sing the ballad
Of Antonio Lopez Trevino
They killed him without witnesses
Those he lovingly
Believed were his great friends

In Reynosa Tamaulipas
One cold morning
They thought it was nonsense
They said the police
Found the Avocado dead

Those who killed him
Knew he was a tough man
And in confidence they hid from him
That they would kill him treacherously
Because they feared Antonio

The Avocado liked
To walk with death in arm
Because he never cared
About killing his enemies
Or being shot dead

The night they killed him
He had a romantic date
To come to an agreement
He and his sweetheart
The date of the wedding

But death awaited him
With one foot already on the running board
In his brand-new car
The traitors killed him
And concealed their crime

One of the criminals
Cried in despair
At his grave with sadness
As if wanting to erase
With weeping his vileness

Well, here I take my leave
For sadness overwhelms me
Here ends the ballad of
Antonio Lopez Trevino
Alias "Tony the Avocado"
